I just realised that I have never posted my Passata recipe on the blog. I have quite a few recipes to post that uses it so I thought it is about time to upload it.

Everyone has their own take on Passata. Generally it is pure tomatoes with nothing added. Others will add flavouring like garlic or herbs. This is my basic one that includes a hint of garlic, salt and a little olive oil to smooth it. Traditionally seeds and skins are removed but due to the power of the Thermomix I have kept them.

You can use this like you do tomato puree or diced tomatoes on lasagnes, bolognese etc. It also makes a great pizza base sauce.

Simply cook everything in a large saucepan over low-medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Process in a blender or processor on high until smooth.

    Loving that this can use tinned tomatoes. Fresh have been so expensive that I’ve avoided making sauces so far.

      I made the passata and about a month later realised it was supposed to be used within a week. I looked at other passata blogs and noticed that when Italian families have their big Passata cookup, they make millions of jars of it and it has really nothing more in it than this recipe. To cut a long story short, I used the month old Passata and it tasted fine and we all survived.

    Very easy recipe, used it in a batch of pizza sauce and a batch of spaghetti bolognaise which in turn was used on pasta one night and in lasagna another.

    In step 4, do you mean cook for an extra 10 minutes or cook for 10 minutes instead of the original 25 in step 2?

      An extra 10 minutes ๐Ÿ™‚
